With the help of VJ and its members, we successfully learnt the ropes, put together our K1 application packet, got a better understanding of anxiety and patience. It paid off. We were approved for the visa. Thanks to all who helped, in every small way. For those looking ahead at us, the payoff is grand and all worth the wait. We will upload our experience by the weekend.
